just checked out motorpoints website, looks good. bit of a drive for me as Im near Norwich.

my Mk1 was a french import, so that part doesnt bother me. anyone know of any websites I can check out?

jamie. can you give me their number at motorpoint. Dont fancy the idea of a cup with no ABS. especially after my little trip on wed morning. just got to wait for the insurance people now to make an offer. Ive had another quote for a Mk2 172 valued at £14K. it came out at £954 fully comp...

Well Ive been out looking for a replacement car, after crashing my Mk1 172. My local Ren dealer has offered me a Mk2 172 out of the showroom. The car is unregistered and up for £14600. He reckons he can do me a good deal on that price. ( I should hope so) Wot prices have other people paid for...

I had a pretty eventful day this morning with my Mk1 172. I lost the back end on a wet country road doing approx 55-60. I tried to correct it, but to no joy. next thing I know I had bounced off several trees with the boot then spun back round, then into the trees head on. Cars looking pretty...

are you on about that grommet where the bonnet release goes through?? If so Ive just given up on the same job. I managed to get the cable through just couldnt pull it through from the engine side :@ Tried taking the wiper arms off, so I could remove the plastic trim. no joy couldnt budge...

phoned Ren today.the cars a 2001 model and done 30K miles so not covered by warrenty.. arse. Apparently another 172 owner had his done at the same garage this week, car had only done 20K, still not covered!!! Is it a common fault??

Cheers. Dont know if its covered under warrenty still as Ive only had the car a few months. worth a try. Thanks

There seems to be a little on the driver side one as well, surely both couldnt go at the same time!?! Anyone know how much Im looking at for a replacement??

Ive just noticed a patch of oil on my drive directly under the rear passenger side wheel. Had a quick look under the car and there seems to be oil over the bottom mount of the rear shock. Is this normal or should I be worried??? Cars a MK1 172. Is it another trip to my friendly local Ren...

Ive got a Mk1 (march 01 - Y reg) and it hasnt got the magic light. although it has the ally bonnet and spare ally wheel. I put it down to mine being a french import, as it didnt come with the alarm fitted.

Well took the clio back today to get the seat looked at. Apparently the cables snapped or disconnected?? they need the car booked in so they can remove the seat etc. Whilst there I mentioned the fact that the petrol gauge has a mind of its own, getting this changed aswell under warrenty...

Well Ive had my MK1 172 since the start of January. And I havent seen 1 other 172 in Norfolk!! Is there any??? I clock up 50 miles a day to work, so either Im half asleep when driving or their as rare as rocking horse sh*t round here. Craig

Ive had my Mk1 172 a few weeks and now the problems start!! The passenger front seat dosent seem to slide forward when the lever is pulled for getting in the back. It was working when I looked at the car. But as its normally just me in the car, Ive just noticed it. Is this a common problem...

Had this problem with my Mini. Are they the anodised ones? Try 2 pairs of molegrips. Put a bit of rag around the valve first though. Watch the alloy though!! Failing that I had to get my local trye fitter to chop the last one off, and re valve it. Cost about £5 per wheel by the time he...

Ive already fitted the JVC head unit, so thats not a problem. glad I found it before drilling holes in the boot floor!! Will have a look today. Cheers
